How You Should Process Your Feelings in the Workplace

Everybody fights. Thanks to our (extremely beneficial) individuality, it’s inevitable. But it can be incredibly awkward in the workplace.

Feeling emotions about our negative interactions with others is completely normal, but that doesn’t mean they are always useful to the situation. If we are able to consider the emotions we feel more rationally, we might actually have a much greater chance of resolving conflict in a more productive and successful way.
